The tracker
MTIT is CrescentRating's monthly reading of how soon Muslim travelers plan their next trip and which destinations they are considering. Score history runs back to August 2021, and since April 2026 each month comes from CrescentRating's conversational survey.
The MTIT Score
A 0 to 100 index across five travel horizons, weighted toward trips planned soonest. A higher score means more travelers intend to go within the next few months. It is updated monthly.
The latest reading
The MTIT Score for August 2026 is 69.4, and 76% of travelers surveyed plan to travel within six months.
Who uses it

What is the Muslim Travel Intent Tracker?
The Muslim Travel Intent Tracker is CrescentRating's monthly signal on how strongly Muslim travelers are planning upcoming trips, how close those trips are likely to be, and which destinations are gaining or losing attention.
What does the MTIT Score measure?
The MTIT Score is a 0 to 100 five-bucket weighted horizon index. It gives the greatest weight to travel plans happening sooner, so higher scores indicate stronger near-term intent while lower scores suggest demand is spread further into the future.
What data sources feed this page?
Historical timing and score data run from August 2021 to March 2026, historical destination data run from June 2023 to March 2026, and live monthly updates from April 2026 onward come from CrescentRating's conversational survey data collection.
How should the destination section be used?
Destination signals should be read directionally and at the country level. Public rankings normalize obvious variants, exclude unclear or junk responses, and should be used to spot emerging momentum rather than as a standalone demand forecast.
